Gastromancy : The Auguries Of Bacon

If any item

should retain

eldritch potency

in this present age.

 

It would be

bacon.

wild magik

is released

by the fat

contained

within its

thick sliced rind.

 

Glamor can be

released

in simple

domestic rituals.

 

All you need

is a pan

& a heat source.

 

 

Many magi

have reported

in secret books

about bacon’s aid

in seeing

the future.

 

When bacon cooks

within a simple pan.

It sizzles

prophetic quatrains

of coming days,

and often is served

with well-cooked omens.

 

Seers

have reported

the auspicious energies

properly displayed

when bacon power

is properly

presented.

 

When the curl

of bacon

properly

interweaves

the tips of tongue…

 

For in

the tingle

the taste bud

apprehends

the shape

of infinite spaces;

where the future

is foretold

within

the chew

of inward knowledge.
